RE: Will we Start getting our Internet Beamed in from Space?
Yes. Give the world satellite internet... then they can all be just like me. One minute I have internet, the next, not so much. Latency is a huge problem. It takes awhile for the signal to travel. We're talking split seconds, but that means a lot in a video game, or a trade. If it snows or the cloud cover is thick... no cat videos for me.
Oh I definitely understand, especially with as many gaming hours I have under my belt. The rage when the lag made me (or worse, my whole party) die because I just stood there, lol.
While I did read that they were looking to be keeping the latency down for users like us...I've seen that so many times before. It sounds good, but we'll have to see how well it actually works once it's up and running.
Even if it's not a service for everybody (like us gamers), I'm still interested to see if it has any effect on rural or areas that haven't had the infrastructure setup. Though, it's still hard for me to think of high speed as 3G anymore...I'm so spoiled. #firstworldproblems
